On June 16, 2023, organized by the Australia-China Cultural Promotion Association, efforts are being made to support “Chinese Pride” in their pursuit of the 2024 Paris Olympics! The fundraising event for Chinese diving star Li Shixian concluded successfully. The funds raised will support Li Shixian’s participation in the upcoming 2024 Paris Olympics.
The auction featured a total of 18 items, which were auctioned publicly and through silent bidding. The fundraising amount has already exceeded AUD 50,000.
The VIP guests in attendance on that day included representatives from the Multicultural Department of the South Australian State Government, local community councilors from various regions in South Australia, Li Shixian and his coach Andy, representatives from various industries, business elites, national-level diving coaches from South Australia and Australia, representatives from various associations/chambers of commerce in South Australia, as well as media representatives.
Ultimately, the funds raised will be used to cover the expenses required for participating in the Olympics, including travel, accommodation, training, and competition costs.
